Thank you for your detailed answer. We already discussed the chance of
multiple functions in the company. One could treat the ASR as kind of a ring
memory that could be "filled" in different ways. E.g. from a CV source via
AD conversion (the usual ASR) but also via Midi or USB. The ring memory
could be looped or not by means of a simple switch. One could combine the
module with arpeggiator functions, e.g. fill the memory by playing a chord
on a keyboard and then use only one of the CV outputs. One may also fill it
with several analog CVs and the filling could be triggered by a gate signal
(i.e. output of a sequencer or a CV/gate keyboard). That way one could
combine several similar functions in one module. From my point of view this
would make more sense than a pure ASR. One could combine the functions of an
ASR, arpeggiator and and a rudimental digital sequencer. For ASR the number
of steps could be limited e.g. to 3 or 4, for the arpeggiator and sequencer
more steps make sense. A lot of ideas for the long evenings of the upcoming
fall and winter .... :-)
